Mecenate Palace

"Location wise it's really good, however the hotel is very tired, it's not a 4 star, the revolving door is quaint, the bedroom is cramped at best, the shower is poor, the city of Rome is very disappointing, apart from the tourist areas which are kept reasonably clean, the rest of the city is a massive disappointment, you have to go a long way to find a wall or door that hasn't got graffiti splashed all over it, as for litter, it's everywhere, it's as though the council couldn't care less, we wouldn't go back and Naples is no better very similar to Rome, if you do venture to these places take plenty of spending money, we spent more in Rome for a two night stay than we did in NY at Christmas for 4 nights two previously"

"On top of the numerous stains we saw in various spots in our room, our shower didn’t stop dripping all night. We also had the thinnest pillows of all time, on top of a very thin mattress. I did not feel safe going to sleep here in this part of town and the weird lock system they had for door handles. If you value getting a decent (not good - decent) nights sleep, I recommend you book somewhere else. This makes top 3 list of worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The upstairs bar was nice and the staff was nice, but it was offensive how gross the room was. This hotel made me reconsider what people think a 4 star hotel should be. I wish other travelers could have been more honest about their reviews so I would have avoided staying here."

"What a wonderful hotel! We’ve had the most wonderful stay. Our room literally overlooked the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore - our very own Rome ‘Room with a View’. Being just a few blocks from the station meant travel anywhere was easy, as we just jumped on the Metro. Room was clean and cool and the rooftop restaurant absolutely superb. Every single member of staff we encountered were friendly and courteous - especially Giulia on the Reception Desk 😊 Thanks to everyone - we will definitely return."
